UNSPSC 40151513: Submersible pumps

UNSPSC 40151513 Submersible pumps (Commodity) covers equipment procurement and repair services for submersible and sump pumps across municipal water, wastewater, and utility applications. State and local governments buy new submersible pump units, OEM replacement parts, repair and rebuilding services, and full-service maintenance contracts under this code. Recent solicitations show water districts, municipal water utilities, wastewater treatment facilities, and transportation agencies purchasing submersible pump equipment rated from 1.5 to 800 horsepower for recycled water systems, dewatering operations, lift stations, treatment centers, and stormwater management. The issuing bodies include municipal water districts, city water departments, county watershed management agencies, state transportation departments, and town engineering offices. Set-asides and preferences appear regularly: local business enterprise (LBE), small business enterprise (SBE), and veteran-owned business enterprise (VOBE) preferences in California; local business preference in Texas; small business and disadvantaged vendor business enterprise (DVBE) preferences on California state transportation projects; and general small-business and minority-owned set-asides in some Georgia county procurements.
